Overhaul of Canadian Tax System Urged to Address Growing Inequality
The Canadian income tax system is outdated and needs reform to address challenges like globalization, technology-based economy, and income inequality. Recent proposals from the UK suggest modern tax design principles that could improve fairness and efficiency. While Canada has made some small changes like new savings plans and tax credits, these efforts lack coordination. The corporate tax system has seen minimal changes. Overall, there are feasible options for reforming the Canadian tax system to make it more equitable and effective.
